1 How to Configure Your Modem Router Using Setup Wizard This document will detail how to configure your modem router for Internet and Wireless connection using the Setup Wizard accessible via a Web Browser.

2 Please note: running the Setup Wizard is only required when you are setting up your modem router for the first time. If you want to re-run the Setup Wizard it is recommended to reset the modem router to factory settings under Management > System > Restore. Step 1. Connect your ADSL line to the modem s DSL port. Connect your computer to one of the modem s LAN ports using a network cable. Alternatively you can connect via Wi-Fi (the Wi-Fi network name and the pre-set Wi-Fi password will be printed on the D-Link Wi-Fi Configuration Card and also on the router s serial label). Open your Internet browser e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. and enter the IP address of your D-Link modem in the address bar: Step 2. When prompted type in the modem s password and then click on the Log In button. If you have not changed the password for the modem administration, the factory setting is: Password: admin If you cannot recall the password you assigned to your modem you will need to reset the modem to factory defaults by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds. Please note that this will revert all the settings in the modem to factory settings and you will have to reconfigure it with your Internet settings and Wireless security. Make sure you have your Internet account details (given by your Internet Provider) handy. D-Link Technical Support Configuration using Web Browser (Setup Wizard) Page 2 of 9
